Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of technology in the field of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) and autonomous connected vehicles (ACV) has brought about numerous benefits, including enhanced transportation efficiency, improved safety, and increased convenience. However, these advancements have also raised significant concerns regarding security and privacy issues, as they can pose life-threatening risks.
The Internet of Vehicles heavily relies on open wireless channels for message transmission, making it more vulnerable to network attacks compared to the traditional Internet. Common threats include counterfeiting, tampering, man-in-the-middle attacks, and Sybil attacks. Additionally, the presence of software and hardware vulnerabilities in vehicles creates potential entry points for cybercriminals, introducing risks such as extortion, malicious manipulation of vehicles, and data leakage.
This special issue aims to explore the latest advancements and challenges in the area of privacy and security for the Internet of Vehicles and Autonomous Connected Vehicles. We invite researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to contribute original research articles, case studies, and review articles addressing various aspects of privacy and security in the IoV and ACV domains.
